The Research on Web Service based Network Management

Abstract

This paper proposes Web Service based network management. The Web Service based network management system is analyzed. It consists of network management layer, collaborative management implementation layer, and management function layer mainly. The complex management network tasks can be accomplished respectively by more than one Web Service distributed on Internet and the Web Services interchange information based on XML message. The SNMP/XML gateway and the translation between GDMO/ASN.1 and XML/Schema are designed and implemented to implement the integration between the legacy network management systems and the network management developed by Web Service technologies. The service management in Web Service based network management is discussed. Service composition/re-composition in Web Service based network management is analyzed based on the QoS requirements negotiation between the network management requirements and the statement of Web Service and network, OWL-S being used to described the network management requirements to discover the suitable Web Service, BPEL being used to describe the Web Service composition.
